WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-
TION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel
(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
Some models have a voltage selector switch for
compatibility with power systems around the world.
Before you plug in such a model, make sure that the
voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your
area.
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands

About CDs
Supported Discs
The DX-7355 supports the following discs.
• Some audio CDs use copy protection that doesn’t con-
form to the official CD standard. Since these are non-
standard discs, they may not play properly in the
DX-7355.
• The DX-7355 supports CD-R and CD-RW discs.
However, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not
work properly for any of the following reasons: disc
burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is
damaged or dirty. See the manual supplied with your
disc burner for more information. Condensation or dirt
on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.
• The DX-7355 supports 8 cm and 12 cm discs.
• If you load any other non-supported discs for reading
or playback purpose, they may cause noise or not
operate normally.
• The DX-7355 does not support disc types not listed.
• Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those
shown below, because you may damage the DX-7355.
• Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape,
rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custom-
made labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the
DX-7355 and you may not be able to remove the disc
properly.
Discs Made on Personal Computers
Discs made on personal computers, including those of a
compatible format, may not work properly in the
DX-7355 because of incorrect settings in the disc burn-
ing software. Check the manuals supplied with your disc
burning software for additional compatibility informa-
tion.
MP3 Compatibility
• MP3 discs must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2,
Romeo or Joliet compliant. Supported formats:
Mode 1, Mode 2 XA Form 1.
• Folders can be up to eight levels deep.
• MP3 files must be MPEG-1/MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3
format with a sampling rate of between 8 kHz and 48
kHz and a bit-rate of between 8 kbps and 320 kbps
(128 kbps recommended). Incompatible files cannot
be played.
• Constant bit rate MP3 files are recommended, how-
ever, variable bit rate (VBR) MP3 files between
8 kbps and 320 kbps are supported. (Playing times
may display incorrectly.)
• MP3 files must have a “.mp3” or “.MP3” file name
extension. MP3 files without the proper extension
will not be recognized. To prevent noise and malfunc-
tion, do not use these extensions for other types of
files.
• The DX-7355 supports up to 499 total tracks includ-
ing the folders of a disc and the MP3 files, however,
the maximum number of folders may not exceed 99.
Files and folders in excess of this cannot be played.
Note that if the file and folder structure is very com-
plicated, the DX-7355 may not be able to read or play
all of the MP3 files on the disc.
• Disc, file and folder names may contain up to 32
characters.
• The maximum time that can be displayed for a single
track is 99 minutes and 59 seconds.
• The remaining time cannot be displayed when play-
ing MP3 files.
• MP3 file and folder names (excluding the extension)
are shown on the display.
• The emphasis is not supported.
• Multisession discs are supported, however, some
multisession discs may take a long time to load and
some may not load at all. When burning CDs we rec-
ommend that you use a single-session (disc-at-once),
and select “Disc Close.”
• Normally, the music in the audio session of a CD
Extra disc is played. However, you can set the
DX-7355 so that it plays any MP3 files in the data
session of a CD-R/RW disc instead. If the data ses-
sion contains no MP3 tracks, the audio session will be
played regardless.
• The following ID3 tags are supported: versions 1.0/
1.1 and 2.2/2.3/2.4. Version 2.5 and later are not sup-
ported. Normally, version 2.2/2.3/2.4 tags have prior-
ity and will be displayed regardless of the ID3 VER 1
preference on page 25.

About CDs—Continued
• For ID3 version 2 tags, information contained in the
beginning of the file are recognized. We recommend
that you include only title, artist name, and album
name information in ID3 tags. Compressed,
encrypted, and unsynchronized ID3 tags cannot be
displayed.
• Some MP3 files may have ID3 tags whose informa-
tion can be displayed no longer than 31 characters.
Notes:
• With CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs that con-
tain many files and folders, and files other than MP3s,
it may take a long time to read the disc. We recom-
mend that you include only MP3 files on your discs,
use about 20 folders, and limit folder nesting to three
levels deep.
• In this manual, MP3 files are referred to as tracks.
• Likewise, folders (directories) are referred to as
groups.
About Playing Copy-controlled CDs
Some copy-controlled CDs may not conform to the offi-
cial CD standard. These special discs may not play
properly on the DX-7355.
Don’t load discs that are not audio discs (e.g.,
CD-ROMs designed for use with computers), as these
may damage your speakers or amplifier.
Disc Content Organization
CD
CDs contain tracks.
MP3
MP3 CDs contain MP3 Tracks organized into Groups.
Handling Discs
• Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold
discs by the edge, as shown.
• Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.
Cleaning Discs
• For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints
and dust can affect the sound quality and should be
removed as follows. Using a clean soft cloth, wipe
from the center outwards, as shown. Never wipe in a
circular direction.
• To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a
damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
• Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thin-
ner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, as they
may damage the disc.
Storing Discs
• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight
or near heat sources.
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust,
such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stack-
ing, or putting objects on unprotected discs may
cause warping, scratches, or other damage.

Connecting the DX-7355
• Before making any connections, read the manuals
supplied with your other components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
and double-checked all connections.
Connection Color Coding
RCA-type audio connections are usually color-coded:
red and white. Use red plugs to connect right-channel
audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled “L”).
• Push plugs in all the way to make
good connections (loose connec-
tions can cause noise or malfunc-
tions).
• To prevent interference, keep
audio cables away from power
cords and speaker cables.
Optical Digital Jack
The DX-7355’s optical digital jack has a shutter-type
cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted and
closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in all the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical
plug straight when inserting and removing.

you can use one remote controller to control all your
Onkyo components and use the following special
functions:
Direct Change
If your DX-7355 is connected to an -compatible
Onkyo hi-fi amp or AV receiver, when you start playback
on the DX-7355, the AV receiver will select the
DX-7355 as the input source.
Remote Control Operation
You can control the DX-7355 by using your Onkyo
amplifier’s remote controller. See the amplifier’s instruc-
tion manual for details.
To use the functions, you need to connect one of the
DX-7355’s connectors to an connector on
another AV component in your system by using the sup-
plied cable.
See the manuals supplied with your other -compati-
ble AV components for more information.
Notes:
• Use only cables for connections.
• To use you must make an analog RCA/phono
connection between your DX-7355 and Onkyo AV
receiver even if they are connected digitally.
• The DX-7355 has two connectors. You can con-
nect either one to your Onkyo hi-fi amp or AV
receiver. The other connector is for connecting addi-
tional -compatible components.
• Connect the DX-7355’s connector to only Onkyo
AV components. Connecting to other manufacturer’s
AV components may cause them to malfunction.
• Some Onkyo -compatible AV components may
not support the special functions described here.
